Hi There!
Thought I'd introduce myself quickly. I have followed the Scott Peterson case for over two years, and have come to believe, after careful research and consideration, that he is not guilty of the crimes he is sitting on death row for. I am sickened daily at the thought of an innocent man sitting in a SQ cell awaiting death by lethal injection!
Watching this nightmare of injustice unfold has led me to change my views on the death penalty, and I now strongly oppose it, in all instances.
I've come to believe in life that "two wrongs don't make a right" (a simplistic phrase that I have used on my 11 year old more than once, but very appropriate).
Whether an incarcerated person is innocent or guilty is not the point. No one has the right to take another life, for any reason. This includes our judicial system and government. There is far too great a risk of killing an innocent person for a crime they did not commit, as evidenced in Scott's case.
Thanks to Maggie, catskillz and CCADP for leading me here from another forum I belong to. I will do whatever I can to help abolish the DP for good!
All The Best, Kirsten

Kirsten Hi great to have you here.. I dont think scott is guilty, and his case was the one that brought me here, and finally opened my eyes to the fact, that many innocent men and women. are being executed, but like you say, we have no right to take any persons life, not matter what reason, no matter what the person has done, for 2 wrongs dont make a right.. Tasha

Hello Kirsten, pleased to meet you, glad you've joined us all here. It was Ghandi who said "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". It seems half the Western world's blind or at least blinkered to whats going on in Americas prisons. No one has a right to take a life except god. Let's fight together to end this madness of state sanctioned murder Best wishes to you, luv Mo
